Kuma Snow Cream

Frozen yogurt shops — especially those offering tart yogurt flavors, like Pinkberry — won't go out of style anytime soon. Chef Jet Tila has taken a creative approach to the trend with his unique frozen dessert shop, Kuma Snow Cream in Las Vegas. Tila based the ice cream hybrid on the Taiwanese dessert called "snow ice." As he explains, "Traditional shaved ice is made by grinding ice, then flavoring it with syrups or condensed milk. Snow cream is an ice cream and shaved ice hybrid; it tastes creamy but feels like fresh powdered snow." Flavors include Green Tea, Black Sesame, Taro, and Honeydew, and customers can create their own unique Snow Cream experiences at a toppings bar.
